The premise behind Block Crisis is deceptively simple. As blocks fall from the top of the screen, you have to arrange them in such a way that they form complete rows across the playing field.
As soon as every section of a given row is full, that row will be removed to make room for another row. Incomplete rows will keep piling up, and if you get to the point where the next piece to fall has nowhere to fall - it's basically touching the top of the playing field - the game is over.
In Block Crisis you are provided with six different gameplay modes to add to the challenge of this concept. The six modes are: Original Mode, 20 Line Challenge, Time Attack 30, Time Attack 60, Time Attack 120 and Crisis+Mode.
20 Line Challenge mode is basically an attempt to see how high a score you can reach before you've cleared 20 lines. In the 3 Time Attack modes, you get the number of seconds specified in the mode's name to clear as many lines as you can.
Summary Plain and simple: There's no denying that the game is incredibly well constructed, and the audio and visual elements are top notch, but in an age where puzzle games more often than not require you to think, it's hard getting involved in one based mainly around reacting to falling, rotating blocks.
